2. My first preference would not be Newt.
3. We do not need a 3rd party run, too much riding on 2012.
4. See the other candidates very similar to what you described.
5. From the beginning I made the statement that I would prefer Rick Perry remain Governor of Texas. For this reason: as long as Rick is Governor of Texas he will not get too far off the reservation. He has powerful (and honorable) supporters who keep him in check.
6. It will be harder to do that with Newt, but it could be done. We do not need an academic (like Newt) but we need a leader, a young Dick Cheney Clone. Hmmm. VP slot? If we could find the Right VP for Newt and the Tea Party extract enough concessions from the Republican Establishment it might work. This is not about electing one man, it is about electing a man who will bring the right people to Washington, DC. People capable of building things, not people who only want to steal and destroy things. (novel concept?)
7. It is time for Americans to stand together against the common enemy. In this case an internal one and an external one. The internal enemies are the Leftist Dems, the Gobalist Traitors, Self Serving POLs. The external enemies we have always had, but Obozo has enabled the resurgence of the Muslim Dictators.
8. The storm clouds are on the horizon. It is up to US to decide how we will hand them.
Didn’t I hear Newt say he could see Romney as his VP? REALLY? No way! That will not be the right person. A Chris Christie is needed. A Marco Rubio. Someone with some solid conservative creds who will bring something to the ticket.
The Tea Party won't even be able to extract concessions from President Gingrich.
He's indicated he'd like Col. West for Veep and Col. West is open to it.
He said yesterday he's ask John Bolton to serve as Secretary of State - and Bolton, although, of course, can't say yes or no at this time, certainly didn't close the door.
I don't think Newt is going to need or take 'help' in choosing his team. He knows all the players and their strengths. I suspicion he already has his list made out and I don't think he's going to compromise with the Establishment. The Establishment Cabal needs to be put out to pasture -
And I think Sarah and the Tea Party will help him there. These Ivy League Elitists have been in power too long and are a big part of the problem.
